Candidate Characteristics

The Candidate Characteristics Dashboard is a series of data visualizations for an individual EPP that features characteristics of candidates by program status, completion rates for enrolled candidates over time, certification rates for enrolled candidates over time, and, depending on your role, individual details of candidates’ enrollment, completion, and certification.

The Candidate Summary page details counts of candidates in an admission cohort or academic year for your EPP by status: admitted, enrolled, completed, and certified. It also provides counts by program, race/ethnicity, and gender.
